Tracy & Tim’s Wedding at The Roundhouse, Beacon

Tracy & Tim were married on a beautiful Saturday in late September at The Roundhouse at Beacon Falls, one of my favorite Hudson Valley venues. These two grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same school, and their love felt fated from the start. For their engagement session we got shots of them around the Upper West Side where they both had sweet memories. Their wedding was a get-away weekend at The Roundhouse, a wonderful boutique hotel, restaurant, and event space in the charming town of Beacon, NY. I arrived early and started shooting with Tracy and her bridesmaids as they finished their hair and makeup, and my assistant photographer meanwhile captured Tim and his groomsmen in another room of the hotel. For a private first look we brought hem to a lovely spot on the old shut-down tracks just across the street from the building, and then took a walk for some portraits in the scenic areas along the bank of the falls. After a lovely Ketubah signing ceremony indoors with family and bridal party we captured their outdoor ceremony on the grounds under a Chuppah. Tracy & Tim shared vows they’d written themselves and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. After cheering for them as they walked back down the aisle arm in arm, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the lawn and patio area with a view of the waterfall before entering the main space for the reception. Tim and Tracy have been taking a picture of their feet together whenever they go somewhere new since they’ve been a couple and so naturally they used some of their favorite feet-picture memories as table decoration and signifiers for the seating chart. Highlights of the evening included some incredible toasts from their parents and Tracy’s brother, a mother-son dance that proved to be quite a crowd-pleaser, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the amazing set list played by the excellent band, Mixtape. It was a delightful wedding through and through– congratulations to Tracy and Tim, I was so honored to be your photographer!
